About the Role
This role will suit someone who is highly motivated, relationship-focused, and passionate about creating exciting learning experiences to ignite a desire to learn in students.
The Ideal Teacher
The successful applicant will be committed to improving outcomes for Aboriginal students.

Conscientious and highly reflective of your teaching practices, you will be willing to collaborate with colleagues, parents, and external networks to establish strong community partnerships.

Our School
Kalumburu RCS runs a 0-3 KindiLink program, two Early Years classes, three composite Primary classes and two composite Secondary classes.
From 2019, our school has been part of the Kimberley Schools Project (KSP), a federally funded initiative established to strengthen teaching pedagogy and improve outcomes for Kimberley students. The four pillars of the project are targeted teaching, better early years learning and care, regular attendance, and increased student and community engagement. Kalumburu RCS receives support in the form of professional learning, coaching, and funding through its participation in the project.
Our staff at Kalumburu RCS are a positive, supportive team and we have strong external supports from KSP and SSEN:BE coaches. Community participation and involvement in the school is actively encouraged. A local language (Wunambal) is taught to all students through a weekly Language class, and each term a Stronger Smarter day celebrates Culture and achievement.
Please view the attached School Strategic Plan for more information about the school’s vision and priorities.
